This is my actual manager, Steve who’s gone. This isn’t my completely-tattooed Über-boss, Jeff.

Not that having my boss here is a problem, he’s a fine guy, a decent boss, and basically leaves me alone to get my work done my own way on my own schedule. In any case, I just noticed that my boss is gone this week. I was about to write about how I can’t concentrate on blogging, but now I can’t even think of anything but sushi. Oh hell I just looked at flickr’s home page to make sure I’d spelled that right (or in context anyway), and found the most mouth-watering picture of sushi. I might have to finally sign up for flickr or one of those photo hosting services. I’m having to resist posting all these old images I’ve been scanning in. Ok, so the exact obscure geek oddity of this will be lost on many.

But nothing earns you geek points like installing Linux on a dead badger. Let’s face it: any script kiddie with a pair of pliers can put Red Hat on a Compaq, his mom’s toaster, or even the family dog. I get cartoons and satire in my newspaper so why not here? Ok April 1st was a bit mad, but that was generally a bit too contrived to be funny this article made me laugh.Installing Linux on a Dead Badger: User’s Notes The voodo linux and magic are all authentic enough to read true. It also has this realy neat remote so you can walk around with it in your pocket. The only thing is that I dont have an optical input on my sound card so all transfers are going to have to be analog to start with, still its going to be far better quality than the cassette tapes I usualy use. Having said that can I tell you about my new minidisk portable recorder, its just like brilliant! Its got 4x extended recording and a mic input so I can record live stuff and its half the size of the tape recorder it replaces. Ok so its humor and humor isnt serious enough to count as news that matters, except that if you dont "get" humor then you are probably not functioning very well.Ī little self mockery never did any harm to people with compulsive behaviour and I'm more than happy to remind myself that cool gadgets are only tools to do something else. This is high culture and should be recorded for posterity!
